We’ve had another brutal week in politics, this time with the demise of Iain Lees-Galloway who has let an office affair destroy his political career.
Some are blaming Judith Collins for his demise, but he has only himself to blame for putting himself in the predicament he faced.
Collins acted quickly and decisively in dealing with Andrew Falloon and thereby snookered Ardern into coming down hard on one of her ministers.
Some departing MPs have rather hypocritically had a whine about how mean parliament is. I’ll dish some dirt on their hypocrisy.
And how about that poll last night?
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Stuff’s survey is far more accurate and Newshub are going to look very embarrassed for even publishing that rogue poll.
But we will also have a quick look at what’s ahead for the cannabis referendum.
Finally, who would have thought the Green party was so bereft of ideas that they had to steal their slogan and promote another party.
Interesting times.
